Upcoming Events
Join us for a Sex Week (Oct 17-23) series of inclusive, informative, and illuminating events sponsored by GSG, USG, WYSE, and SAGE with support from USC Student Health.
We all come to college with existing education in all sorts of topics – and the same is true for the subject of sexual health. Whether you’re just starting to learn about your identity, relationships, and bodily autonomy, or you consider yourself an expert, there’s always more to learn or uncover.
This is all about fun, inclusive, interactive, sex-positivity—with sexperts, a chance to ask questions, test out products, and pick up freebies! There will be both live events and virtual events.
Skip the doc, and still get the tests you need.

Mental Well-being
Opportunities for mindfulness and learning resiliency
Busy schedule? Looking for a community to "unplug" with? The drop-in mindful practice groups from Mindful USC might be a great way to slow down, recharge, and replenish your sense of wellbeing.
Another great way to pick up the skills to handle life's ups and downs is to enroll in the 2-credit class, "Roadmap to Resilience" (PBHS 499), this Spring 2023 on Mondays from 1-2:40 PM. Learn the neuroscience behind our behaviors and reactions, and how we can apply these skills in every day life.
Check out the video from professors and practitioners Michelle Dexter and Allyson Pimentel to learn more, and for a mini-break with a grounding exercise.

Below are some of the things I learned, resources I used, and other things to expect should you ever (but hopefully never!) happen to fracture a bone while at USC."
